50 Best Coffee Shops in Tacoma

“My first time visiting....We had a Mother/Daughter day and she took me to this lovely coffee shop off of Ruston way...the coffee was hot and tasty...but the Dill Chedder Cheese Sones were so flaky and delicious...I can't wait to go back...“

“Extremely aesthetically beautiful space and lighting. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ordered an iced herbal tea on a hot sunny day that was served in a cute cup. Everything here is clearly designed with thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Lots of seating for a small space, great both for solo work on a computer or meeting with one to four other people I would say. Lots of natural light coming in through the big windows which is a plus. I’d definitely come back and would love to try their coffee and breakfast sandwiches which looked tasty.
I came here to meet with one other friend at 2pm for about 90minutes and there were only 5 other guests. Parking was easy and lots of spaces. It did not feel crowded.“

“Great tiny little coffee place. I love the little shop, and the coffee was excellent“

“Went today for the first time and idk if it was a mistake because it’s the best coffee I’ve had!! and I cannot drive everyday here for my coffee because it’s a bit too far from me 😂. Totally recommend it and an extra plus because they have the nicest people!“

“Pao's is by far the best donut shop in Tacoma. Their maple bars, apple fritters, and donut holes are delicious! Customer service is always friendly and top notch. Highly recommended!“

“I absolutely love each of their locations (Federal Way & Tacoma), and each one is completely different while bringing amazing vibes. Whether I am there for work/meetings or just a casual mid-day coffee session, this is my go-to spot. I highly recommend!“

“The staff is supper nice and knowledgeable about coffee, and great coffee. Just a winner combination.“

“Support a local shop! Wife and I picked up 2 high end bikes. Dave was great. Knowledgeable, great service! Was gonna go the online route but stumbled on a rare personable bike shop!“

“I would highly recommend checking out the 15% board game Café. My friends and I enjoy monthly board game meet ups here and the staff are super knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to teach you a new game. Not to mention they have lots of scrumptious snacks, and drinks. Also they support local artists and provide a safe space to have fun!“

“This was my go-to gym for about a year and a half before I moved. It has a great range of equipment without ever feeling crowded, so I could always get a comfortable workout in. The owner is a genuinely great guy and very knowledgeable about fitness.“

“Tried it for the first time today. Got the Caramel Cinnamon Apple Butter Latte Hot. OMG TO DIE FOR 🤤 definitely will keep going back!“

“The owner is quite mad (in a fun way), although he wasn’t wearing a hat, which he should; that is my only issue.

The tea is great, he clearly knows what he is doing, and he is very generous with selection, pricing, and taking up his time.

Stop by there if you like tea, that’s for sure.“

“omg love the baristas coffee and spritzers on point amazing place to go“

“One of my favorite coffee shops & car wash. Has been for years!!! 😁“

“I was gifted a bag of Manifesto Coffee and my first thought was the beans smelled like heaven. Then I tried it and I’ve never had such a smooth cup of coffee, by far the best I’ve ever had! Check out the Columbian Cauca, Black Cherries & Chocolate! #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses“

“I visited this spot today for the first time with my friend and I enjoyed my root beer mocha and the bagel. Loved the pink inside it brightens up the mood and pink makes me happy!!! can't wait to try the other drinks !!“

“Bought a bag of Morning Sun whole beans. Package says it's a darker roast. Darker than what? Water? We tried it three mornings in a row. With no other whole beans in the house, I had to switch to instant coffee. Morning Sun is NOT a dark roast. Sorry to say I was very disappointed.“

“Fantastic community cafe with wonderful coffee, staff and local artists who can showcase their creativity and work.“

“Best breakfast sandwiches ever!!! Best vibe & staff too!“

“We ordered our wedding cake and 4 dozen assorted cupcakes for our wedding June 6th. From the staff at Corina, to the desserts themselves- ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you’re getting exactly what you have in mind when ordering, and extremely professional! Best bakery around, in my opinion! LOVE this place ❤️“

“This stand is so amazing!!! The service was great and the baristas were so kind. I highly recommend this amazing coffee stand then any other big company. The drnks were so good!“

“Fast, friendly, convenient and the food speaks for itself. I have a hard time not getting the exact same bagel (Jalepeno, chicken bacon bagel!) with a coffee that carries its own weight in flavor! Love supporting this local deli! Can order online as well“

“So good!!! Highly recommend!“

“I love all of these ladies, they absolutely make my day every time I come for coffee! And the coffee is amazing too!“

“The staff here knock it out of the park every time! Great prices, good quality and really friendly! I used to be a barista so I definitely can be a bit of a snob when it comes to my coffee and they are always so happy to modify or add extra sweetness or cream to my drink if needed!“

“Best boba and coffee! So cute inside and friendly staff.“

“This place was awesome! The best customer service, great tasting everything. Such a great atmosphere. I’ll be a regular. I’m just mad I’ve lived so close and didn’t know about it sooner!“

“Wow, what an improvement over the prior owners...These young ladies serve up some amazing fresh wholesome pastries and my mocha latte with almond milk and cinnamon was so delicious... there's plenty of parking🤗. Definitely deserves the five star rating🤗“

“They make my coffe perfect every time! They always listen when i say i need more of something and they're always SO sweet and friendly. I'm excited that this stand is right next to my work!“

“It was my first time into landers and it was the best experience. The person at the register was the nicest. The wait was not long at all! The coffee is the best coffee I have ever had!! I will be going back here every week most likely! Definitely recommend it here!“

“Small cafe, not much room inside for more than a few people, but they make great boba drinks! I’m a big fan of their thai tea. Staff has been very friendly and have started recognizing me when I come in :) Not a lot of boba spots around 6th ave so this is a great addition to the neighborhood! Recommend!“

“I cannot recommend this place enough! Fresh ingredients, and the staff is awesome. They welcome you like family. This is the only froyo place that my husband and I will go to in the PNW and for a good reason!“

“Excellent coffee, great food options (including gluten free options), and incredible people.“

“I work really close to this coffee shop and have gotten so many drinks from them due to that. It has become one of my favorite coffee spots. I will often drive on my days off if Im feeling like I need some caffeine. And definitely stop to get my coworkers and I a drink at least once a week. The employees are always sweet. Highly recommend!“

“What a fantastic place This is in great customer service and good coffer. It's easy to access. Really nice people.Lots of room to park handicap.Accessory, love it. GravityCoffee is all over the place.They need more stores.They are much better than starbucks. Take it from us.This is the place to go to, get your coffee.“

“Great service. Good drinks 🙌🏽“

“Went for a quick breakfast the other day. This place is dangerous in the most predictable way. You go in thinking one doughnut, then you see the case, then your self ontrol quietly leaves through a side door. Good selection, fun spot, and definitely the kind of place that makes discipline feel optional, especially if you already live up in Lakeland Hills and have no excuse. Go with a plan or accept your fate.“

“Stopped to try Italian sodas and grabbed a white chocolate mocha. All of our drinks were delicious and fairly priced. The service was phenomenal and my family has decided to make this our new coffee/ treat stop. Thanks to the barista(wish I would have got her name) for being such a wonderful treat!“

“They live up to their name! If I could give 100 stars I would. The staff is amazing and the drinks are the best around!“

“my favorite coffee stand. the biscuits and gravy is my favorite but all of their food is super good. excellent drinks as well best lavender latte I've had.“

“Yesterday we tried the dirty soda with Root Beer, Caramel and Irish Cream. It was phenomenal! We stopped and got one and then we stopped again on the way home so my husband could try it. Please make these a permanent menu item.“

“I forgot to leave a review when I first tried this place! My first ever experience was either last week or the week before and it was around 2? The lady who served me was such a kind human and despite me not having my glasses and just picking something haha she was able to make it perfect!! I actually am headed back today for more coffee haha! It was/is a wonderfully coffee shop and I think it's my new go-to!!

Parking: I am in walking distance and I don't drive sadly, so I can't help to much?

Kid-friendliness: Oh gosh as someone who suffers really bad with social anxiety to the point that I avoid places commonly, I felt safe in here. So a kid would love it!!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is enough space in the door for a wheelchair and there is a ramp for em as well!!“

“Friendly service, good coffee, and chill environment. I can dig it!“

“New and local shop, close to the gym and home. Great service, great taste. Will be a regular!“

“Just stopped by Canyon Coffee Co. for the first time (long overdue!) and had a cappuccino… and wow. It was perfect—smooth, rich, exactly what I wanted. ☕️😍 I’m officially in love. 5⭐️ As someone who works from home and occasionally needs a change of scenery, I think I just found my new spot to spend the day working—I’ll definitely be back as often as I can!“

“High quality drinks, lots of options and variety!“

“So I just had a delivery order from this location, and I had to write a review. Placed an order for a desperately needed coffee to get me through a busy day at work, along with a treat for my kiddo and a hot chocolate. My first dasher said the order was backed up and then dropped the order, the second one also dropped the order and a third dasher finally got to the store to pick it up. I got a confusing message saying the order was picked up, and then the barista called me and told me the previous dasher made up a whole story about speaking with me on the phone and me giving her permission to get donuts holes instead of the selected treat, and then took my order, before cancelling and stealing it. She let me know that they were out of cake pops, and helped me select a frosted sugar cookie that my son was very happy about. She reassured me that she was going to remake my order, and to call the store if it was stolen again. She was incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond, and as a former barista I know how crazy the barista job can be in the days leading up to and following holidays, so it was really appreciated. I need to go in person soon and make sure I leave a big tip because the baristas here are rockstars!
The gingerbread latte I got is everything I wanted, and not sickly sweet, still perfectly hot, way better than a certain big brand coffee chain that I’ve been boycotting all year now. This coffee is going to get me through a very busy day in my law firm before I finally get the rest of the week off. 100/10“

“Now let me come at this from the get-go everybody. Raegan is a drink SPECIALIST. The coffee smells that hit your nose the moment you come up to the counter are just marvelous freshly grounded bean aromas.

Now that's out of the way time for the goods. The atmosphere was very outgoing and warm, greeted with a huge smile and friendly hello 👋. Price wise, i would say affordable and competitive for the quality and size average.

That Raegan gal at the counter was extremely friendly, courteous, and cheerful. She has vast knowledge on all of the drinks they sell.

I went ahead and decided on a personal mocha & double espresso.

This is one for the experience, so i would recommend locals and travelers to grab a personal cup or two.“

“Just an all around cool setup and great coffee.“
